Aneet, last seen in Saiyaara, will next be seen in Shakti Shalini, joining the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. The official announcement came with the first look of the film in theatres, alongside the release of Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna.

Shakti Shalini is scheduled to release on Christmas, December 24, 2026, clashing with Shah Rukh Khan’s King.

Did Aneet Padda Replace Kiara Advani In Shakti Shalini?

After Aneet was announced as the lead in Shakti Shalini, reports claimed she had replaced Kiara Advani. Speaking on the matter, director Amar Kaushik said that nothing had been confirmed, adding that he was unsure how such reports surfaced.

He told Filmygyan, "I have always wanted to work with Kiara. When you write a story, you have an idea, and as you develop it further, you realise who is fit for which character. When Saiyaara came out, we were still in the process of writing (Shakti Shalini)."

Kaushik clarified that no one was locked for the role and Aneet did not replace Kiara Advani. He added that they were simply considering who would fit the character, and sometimes even the makers don’t know the full story, but information still gets leaked.
